Sounds like you're loading it okay...a partial bowl "may" still be okay, though you might consider using some glass flowers in there. I do it both ways and don't have a problem.
Since I don't know what kind or the condition of your herb, I can't comment on whether that could be an issue.
It "might" be a temperature control issue...I have no problem producing clouds at 390 and up...even from 360 and up, I still get light clouds...not wisps.
The only thing I found important to do consistently is to take relatively slow draws. You can't hit it like it's a bong. This is not a convection vape, only the bowl is being heated, not the air passing through the herb, so slower hits allow more warmth around and through the herb, which "should" give you nicer clouds.
If you already know all this and still have that problem, then it may be a faulty vape.
